Pakistan's Supreme Court has decided to transfer former Prime Minister Imran Khan from prison to hospital in the coming days. It was also ordered to provide him with the opportunity to meet family members every week. This was reported by "Dawn".
The decision was made after the head of the prison where Imran Khan is being held submitted a report to the court about his health condition.
According to doctors' conclusion, the former prime minister's pulse and heart condition are not normal. In this regard, the court decided to transfer him to a hospital for a medical examination.
The court also ordered the formation of a medical commission involving Imran Khan's personal doctor and his sister, Dr. Uzma Khan.
At the same time, lawyers and family members have been prohibited from disclosing the results of the former prime minister's medical examination.
